2021 Technical Specifications
Region Barbaresco
Production Details A mild, wet winter and snowfall built water reserves; spring and summer were generally dry and seasonally temperate without vine water stress. Early-October rain moderated grape concentration, and the season concluded with a medium-late harvest. The producer reported excellent colour, high but not excessive alcohol, firm but non-aggressive tannins, and excellent acidity.
Tasting Notes Inviting elegance, particularly aromatically, with more powerful and incisive tannins than preceding vintages.
